One of the few pieces of biking clothes that actually looks cool AND is functional. A little snug fitting but not bad at all (maybe I should lay off the stouts):

It has a great feel, so soft and warm. I’m going to miss wearing it when the weather warms up. Many great design features-the pockets, hood and thumb holes, great color (brown) and I feel stylish wearing it.

I wanted to love this garment but just discovered a hole in the back side area from normal use. Washed once in cold water and hung dry. I have many other chrome products and haven’t had issues. This is new for me. I have several other merino wool products and have not run into this issue with them.

I reviewed this version 3.0 hoodie and chrome deleted that review. Now that a dozen other reviews are also frustrated at moving from an actual wool hoodie to this blend maybe this review won’t get deleted. I own at least a half dozen of the version 1 and 2. I look forward to version 4 and hope it will be 100% merino wool again even if it costs more. Skip version 3. It’s not wool. It’s a blend.
